Extensibility networking layer of an integration system

Abstract

A method for generating self-serve integrations includes receiving a network address of a configuration file that includes parameters to interface with a server. The method extracts, from the configuration file, endpoints and operation(s) available to manipulate each endpoint. The method displays a first table having a rows displaying (a) a given endpoint and (b) a menu for selecting a given operation to manipulate the given endpoint. The method, upon selection of a given row, displays input field(s) that accept a parameter, authorization, header, body, and/or response data. The method gathers, from the server, a data fields available at the given endpoint. The method displays a second table having rows that have data field(s), and input(s) for a data type, column type, a display name, unit, description, primary key, secondary key, and/or an indexing toggle.
